All, Why not promote Posts in the current groups whose titles are prefixes [announcement] or [Plugin] ?
It is easy to search a group for such strings, and most of the plugins I know about were found in this group, so we need to maintain access to the history. If you find a plugin in the current groups you may be able to create a new post [plugin] plugin name function with a link to a previous post. If we can build an index (using search) within the group to plugin references then we can at least find them, and when we decide on a repository, registry or library of plugins we can harvest the details from the group to start. I am prepared to build and host such a registry but it must openly allow plugin authors and enthusiasts to add and edit it with us all chipping in. It also must take account of the existing helpful repositories or plugin sets documented by those who have already put some effort into this. This means it naturally needs to be a tiddlywiki itself in my view. A TiddlyWiki in which any plugin could be dropped (whilst not actually being activated in that wiki), and permitting additional metadata to be provided would be a good start. We can then rely in part on each plugins internal documentation to start with. But it is essential in my view, ultimately along with an overarching solutions based index like tobias's https://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Solutions Regards Tony On Friday, August 25, 2017 at 11:37:41 PM UTC+10, [email protected] wrote: > > I know there has been talk of moving away from goolag -- sorry, google -- > groups but it's what we have and it's where new users come and other folks > are. > > I also know that many have opined the lack of a one-stop-shop/curated list > of plugins (TiddlyTweeter being the most vociferous/ardent on the topic, I > think -- he's right, IMO, too). > > That said... > > Why is there not (or is there?) a goolag group for Plugins? > TiddlywikiPlugins? > > If it was *strictly* for plugin announcements (all other kinds of msgs > are forcibly removed), wouldn't that be better than the status quo?
